Abstract
Designer materials: The authors propose a design strategy for a quasicrystalline material composed of discrete molecular entities. The molecular quasicrystal (see figure), which is based on a standard Penrose tiling, is energetically stable and gives rise to a 10-fold symmetric diffraction pattern. The strategy may be further exploited to design molecular quasicrystals based on a range of different types of quasiperiodic arrays.
